- From Fox News Today 2-28-13 : Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) claimed today that “over 170 million jobs” could be lost due to sequestration. Later in the presser, Rep. Waters corrected herself, saying it was only “750,000 jobs” that could be lost. Both are balderdash but how does one confuse those two numbers? Her uncorrected number was a multiple of over 266 times the correct figure. An esteemed member of the Democratic congressional caucus, and, the Congressional Black Caucus. They all gotta be proud!

Low information voters rallying to oppose efforts to curtail Second Amendment rights . . .
Mistakenly believing that the current debate over the Second Amendment is an effort to “infringe upon the glamorous Michelle “Evita” Obama’s rights to bear (her “well-toned”) arms, are planning to take to the “cyber streets” of Facebook.
Gun control advocates are in abject fear.

From the Daily Caller: Left-wing Group Urges Obama to Shut Down Campaign Apparatus
“The president of the United States should close down his new lobbying, advocacy and fund-raising organization, says a left-wing group that has long sought to reduce the role of donations in politics. “If President Obama is serious about his often-expressed desire to rein in big money in politics, he should shut down Organizing for Action and disavow any plan to schedule regular meetings with its major donors,” said Bob Edgar, president of Common Cause . . .”

GAO Report: Obamacare Adds $6.2 Trillion to Long-Term Deficit (Full article from National Review here).
Obamacare will increase the long-term federal deficit by $6.2 trillion, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released today.Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.), who requested the report, revealed the findings this morning at a Senate Budget Committee hearing.
The report, he said, “confirms everything critics and Republicans were saying about the faults of this bill,” and “dramatically proves that the promises made assuring the nation that the largest new entitlement program in history would not add one dime to the deficit were false.”
President Obama and other Democrats attempted to win support for the health-care bill by touting it as a fiscally responsible enterprise. “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future,” Obama told a joint-session of Congress in September 2009. “I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period.”
And from the dominant liberal media . . . no news there . . . move along . . . nothing to report. DLH
